Art Inspired

Color inspiration can come from many places. For this home in Travis Heights—which underwent a complete interior renovation that was handled by Tim Cuppett Architects and contractor RisherMartin—the inspiration came from the homeowners’ art collection, specifically a dark blue painting that now hangs in their living room.

While the home’s palette features multiple colors—cool blues in the living room and reds and orange elsewhere in the house—it is cohesive, says Cuppett.

“The rooms aren’t all the same, but they’re all compatible,” he says. “As you pass through the rooms, the character changes and the color changes.”

Color tip
“It’s important that interiors use both warm and cool colors,” Cuppett says. “For example, take a room of grays. If you mix some warm grays with some cool grays, you will achieve success.”
